Accused mass murderer Chai Vang was found guilty on Friday after just three hours of jury deliberation. He was the Hmong immigrant who shot eight Wisconsin hunters, killing six, last fall. He complained that the hunters had berated him with racist speech, something the survivors always denied.

The presumably liberal jury imported from Madison didn't buy the self-defense defense, probably because Vang testified that some he killed "deserved to die" since they were rude to him.

HAYWARD, WIS. — A courtroom full of people sat in stunned silence Thursday as Chai Soua Vang ended his murder trial with the bold declaration that some of the six deer hunters he killed deserved to die because they were disrespectful.

In a cross-examination that may devastate Vang's claim that he was acting in self-defense, he said landowner Robert Crotteau and his 20-year-old son, Joe, deserved what they got when Vang chased them down and fatally shot each in the back, though Vang acknowledged that neither was armed.
